Buying Advice rotary cutter

[Peter 315]

Kodiak uses a 1 1/4 bolt to hold each blade on. The nut's on the top and there is an access hole in the deck. I can't find a torque spec in the manual but it's probably lots.

Someone posted some pics a while back of the Woods blade fixture that looks much easier to deal with.

I did on the woods.....

one way or another it looks like a two man job no matter whos mower it is

There should be a way to do it with one person. Perhaps strapping the blade to be removed to the center carrier before using an impact wrench on the nut.

Yes i have done it by myself as all of you probably have...one extra pair of hands to start the top nut is always helpful.
